Welcome to my earth
It’s a crying shame
We have built a foolish world
Busy fighting, cruelly lying and denying

My ghosts are not gone
They dance in the shade
And kiss the black core of my heart
Making words, making sounds, making songs

[estribillo]
Now you can feel my heart spinning
You turn my whole life around
I want to write a new beginning
Let go of the ghosts
Let dreams and hopes fly
And give our love another try
Should we just let it be?

Make love to me
My ghosts are not gone
They kiss the black core of my heart
Making words making sounds making songs

[estribillo]

We ain’t nothing without love, without love
We ain’t nothing without love, without love

You’ve been out in the street
Talkin’ about the war with me
And the background is at night
Don’t want to hesitate
Will they tell me where you’re hiding?
But through the haze there’s no one there
Wondering if you care
Callin’ your name in the darkness

When I’m done with my time here
I’m going to keep staying strong
Through the railways
But I never mind going
And I realize now that the road is bare
And I hear it all through the grand parade

And I don’t mind you disappearing
‘Cause I know you can be found
Maybe livin’ on the dark side of the street, damn
When we’re livin’ in the moment and losing our grasp
Making it last with the grand parade in our past

Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow
As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in
But I don’t mind chasing you through the backways for the keys
It evaporates and fades like a grand parade

And I don’t mind you disappearing
When I know you can be found
When you’re livin’ on the dark side of the street, damn
We’re just livin’ in the moment, making our path
Losin’ our past through the grand parade

I’ll be here or I’ll fade away
Never cared about moving
Never cared about now
Not the notes I’m playing
Is there room in the dark
In between the changes?
Like a light that’s drifting
In reverse, I’m moving

Some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing

See, the cage, it called. I said, “Come on in”
I will not open myself up this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see, the cage, it called. I said, “Come on in”
I will not open myself up this way again

You see, the moon is bright in that treetop night
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean light
My feet are gold. My heart is white
And we race out on the desert plains all night
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
No my heart is gold. My feet are light
And I am racing out on the desert plains all night

So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
O and all you folks, you come to see
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild. And my bones are steam
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free

[David Byrne]
She’ll take you back, don’t make believe
You wanna think it through
I’ve loved before, I’ll love again
I know that yours was true

[Anna Calvi]
Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black matter
I see them shinin’ through your drunken eyes
Carving silver in strange weather

[David Byrne]
She’ll meet a man, we’ll make a home
And travel to the deep
Of further lines with hidden dreams
The broken heart to keep

[Anna Calvi]
Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black matter
I see them shinin’ through your drunken eyes
Carving silver in strange weather

She’ll take you back, don’t make believe
You wanna think it through
I’ve loved before, I’ll love again
I know that yours was true

[Ambos]
Wake up slowly, there are blue skies
Cutting white lines in black matter
I see them shinin’ through your drunken eyes
They only want me in strange weather
In a small room, on a naked floor,
With the blinded heart of black matter
I could hear you through the front door
Carving silver in strange weather
